It would be great... But I guess the fanbase isn't big enough Sad Eyes


Freedom - a mountain in the distant sky, love in the grass, birds on the vast plains of the sea...
Freedom - I treasure your name, I love your sweet sound, I smell your dreams.

I see you - when I turn away
I hold you -when my hands are full

Freedom -
Never shall you be more than a name to me

PLEASE UBISOFT!

Oh, but remake Heroes 1 and 2, don't worry about Might and Magic.

Oh heh heh, sorry.

Actually, I'd welcome a remake of the might and magic games, but Heroes first, my old disks are too worn at this point.

(give me a break, I was only 7 when I started the series)

Kids. Roll Eyes *grin* If you're gonna do it, go for MM1 and MM2. THOSE are the true classics. :O)

But I don't need re-makes. They work fine for me on Windows XP as they ORIGINALLY are. :O)



"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings or endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning."

Wouldn`t you like them updated though, to take full advantage of modern hardware.?
UBI are releasing a new updated version of Settlers 2 and the demo looks great and it seems to have all the feel of the original.
Surely you`d like them to do that with HoMM and M&M too. Big Grin

That's kind of like asking me if I'd like to see Quintin Tarrentino film a re-make of Raiders of the Lost Ark. When something holds such a special place in your heart, the last thing in the world you want is for someone (especially someone who has NO CONNECTION WHAT-SO-EVER to the original game) to alter the original vision.

So, NO, I don't want anyone to remake any M&M games. Just make NEW ONES!!! :O)

In a way I can understand you not wanting a remakeof M&M, I was not pleased with the treatment of Bards tale and Pool of radience, two of my favourite early role playlayers. the modern remakes may have had nice graphics etc. but the soul of the games was missing Sad Eyes

lol Big Grin But Grim, I think there is very little chance of a complete XP 1-8 edition. Roll Eyes

Besides I'd still like to try it and see why it's so awful. Razz

But I'm afraid that IX allrady is able to run on XP.- Perhaps I should get myself mac so I'm sure it can sneak attack my PC Shady

Sorry guys. But I'm not getting the problem here. I've got every version of M&M (yes, even 9) and they ALL run on Windows XP. There are some small tweeks you need to do to them to get them to run though.

Look here for some tips. CH's tips for M&M on XP page

The only one that still has problems after these changes is MM1...it still runs too fast. But DosBox helps.

Yeah Dosbox and VDMSound will get most of the clasics working (Unfortunetly I onlyhave World of Xeen Sad Eyes ) and I can get 6, 7, 8 working on my XP system with a bit of work.


However wouldn't you like to see the older games in up-to-date graphics? Hell I'd pettition to make sure the clasics stay tile and turn bassed (that's what makes em so clasic afterall) or at the very least an option of tile based or full 3D, but could you imagine Terra or Xeen on full 64 bit collour with FULL digitised speach (not just the cut sceens)? *drools*

I want them to remake Elite and the two sequels, but just debugging and the graphics, the gameplay mustn`t be touched. Big Grin
